Which of the following figure represents the relation between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures?
Which of the following figure represents the relation between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures?
Show Hint
Remember that the relation between Celsius and Fahrenheit is linear, but it does not pass through the origin. The conversion factor is \( \frac{9}{5} \), and the y-intercept is 32.

Show Solution
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The conversion between Celsius (C) and Fahrenheit (F) is defined by the linear equation: \[ F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32. \] This represents a straight line with a slope of \( \frac{9}{5} \) and a y-intercept of 32. Consequently, at 0°C, the Fahrenheit temperature is 32°F. Therefore, the relationship between Celsius and Fahrenheit is a straight line with a positive slope that does not originate from (0,0) but intersects the Fahrenheit axis at 32°F. The correct representation among the given options is a line passing through the origin with a positive slope, mirroring the Celsius to Fahrenheit scale's relationship, albeit shifted from the origin.
Final Answer: Option (1).
